So yeah I fell down the suitcase

[orginal_graves]

Your concern about what happened to me is touching it really is, but this was not the way to handle it. My fate will be what it is. I do agree with you that the situation with the boy was handled badly, but what's done is done. You need to stop hoping for the best and worrying about me. The magical world is in danger and one person's life doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

.... Mr Graves?

[orginal_graves]

[Percival nods unsure what the reaction will be to his words]

The real one yes.

[credence_barebone]

So I... never really talked to you?

[He looks both sad and disappointed.]

[orginal_graves]

[A sad head sake]

No Credence you didn't....I never would have left you with her...you or your sister.

[credence_barebone]

Would you have shown me the wizarding world?

[He did want that. He wanted to be taught. He had been promised that... until the betrayal.]

[orginal_graves]

Yes......while it is rare that talents like yourself lived long enough to be discovered.....we would have found a place for you.

You were a rarity and one meant for great things.

[They're words that he's heard in some way before from a man using the same face, so it's difficult for him to believe them now - even though he dearly wants to. He looks down, nervously fidgeting.]

But it's all too late now, isn't it.

[orginal_graves]

[Percival nods. he feels like that's all he can do.]

All I can hope for is that I get the chance to bring you peace.

[credence_barebone]

How would you do that?

[orginal_graves]

By making sure Grindwald can't hurt anyone ever again.

[Percival's voice is a low growl as he says the dark wizard's name]

[credence_barebone]

Isn't he very powerful?

[orginal_graves]

Yes, but I didn't get where I am by being a slouch either.

[credence_barebone]

So you wouldn't want to join him? You think that he's wrong?

Hiding... never did me any good.

[orginal_graves]

[Graves gives the question the weight it deserves]

I am not the type of wizard who agrees with the rules on No Maj's and wizards...our school's first headmaster was a No Maj. But I understand why we need to be underground. Not all No Magics are understanding. They fear what they don't understand. They hate what they fear.

We hide to protect ourselves as much as to protect them.

So you believe in the sacrifice of few for the greater good of many then?

You would have been a wonderful follower of mine. It is a shame they probably are not going to go down that route...

[orginal_graves]

I believe in doing what is necessary to stop wizards like you from taking too much power.

I hope I get the chance to pay you back for taking over my life. And to get revenge for that boy.
